By SAVANNAH BROWN Residents came out to the Martin on Main music and guitar festival in Nazareth on Saturday, July 30 after a two-year hiatus due to safety precautions amongst the Covid pandemic. The seven-hour festival was a hit as couples, families, and even four-legged friends shopped, ate, and jammed to music all day long. Martin on Main hosted over 60 musical acts on three stages during the festival in downtown Nazareth, each bringing their own flair and fans. The entertainment included two-time Grammy winner Laurence Juber, Wil & Robert, The Beautiful Distortion, Kelsey & Grace,
Rod Abernathy, Keith, John, & Sue, Melody Cruz, Brian Dunne, Dina Hall, The Audio Files, The Music Makers, The Love Bugs, Fresh Duo, Noll Brothers, Jim at the Hot Cogan, Make a Joyful Noise, New Day Rising, and Jonathan Cornelius. Nazareth Circle and South Main Street to Belvidere Street was blocked off to traffic during the event, so that vendors and attendees could line the streets. The center of Nazareth circle offered shade to the hot summer day and concertgoers collected under the trees to enjoy the sounds of singers, songwriters, and bands. In addition to one of the festival stages, the Nazareth Branch of
the Greater Valley YMCA hosted a farmers’ market in their parking lot with an assortment of vendors selling homemade treats for festivalgoers to take home, including peanut butter, pickled foods, and infused cooking oils, just to name a few. Food truck, craft, artisan, and resale vendors lined South Main Continued on page 11

Allen Township Supervisors Grant irrigation access to Covered Bridge Farm
By KERI LINDENMUTH During the Allen Township Board of Supervisors meeting on Tuesday, July 26, supervisors unanimously approved a motion to allow Andrew Hower of Covered Bridge Farm to access the Hokendauqua Creek via the township-owned Covered Bridge Park. Hower says the family-run farm has been accessing the creek via the park for over two decades to pull water for its irrigation system. However, no official agreement was ever signed, prompting the township to send a warning letter to the farm. The township said their reason for sending the warning was to protect the park’s newly planted meadows and wildflowers from destruction. “The seed is not inexpensive,” said Township Manager Ilene Eckhart. “[And] it takes a couple of years to get [the meadow] going correctly.” “We are doing our best not to destroy what you have established there,” said Hower. He added that
vehicles used the park's perimeter and did not intentionally drive through its meadows. With this summer’s drought, Hower said that water is pulled out of the creek weekly to irrigate the farm’s vegetables. This use of creek water is allowed under Pennsylvania law. Supervisor Paul Link said he is not opposed to the farm pulling water from the creek but did not want to see township property damaged. Supervisor Gary Behler agreed, saying that the farm and township need a written contract. The board unanimously instructed Township Solicitor Lincoln Treadwell to draft an agreement. Under this agreement, Hower would be allowed to drive into the park via the paved road and pull water. Hours would be limited to before the park opens to the public or after it is closed. In other news, supervisors heard a presentation from one of the engineering firms in the running to lead their facility’s upgrade. Arif Fazil of D’Huy Engineering

in Bethlehem gave a brief “sneak peek” of the firm's proposed plans. Fazil said the township fire building has the most potential. Parking would be revamped, and the upper level of the building would be renovated to appear more welcoming to the public. New signage would be installed, and a public entrance would be redesigned. Fazil said any changes the firm proposes would be “utilitarian, functional, and maintainable.” The total project, he added, could take about two years. “I am excited to move forward with D’Huy,” said Behler. The rest of the board agreed, unanimously approving D’Huy Engineering’s proposal, allowing the engineers to begin the exploration process. Supervisors also discussed plans for the former Nagle Property along the Lehigh River. Plans to turn the 27th Street site into a public park have stalled. The township needs Norfolk Southern’s permission to add a crosswalk to allow park goers to safely cross the railroad tracks. In the meantime, supervisors discussed possible names for the future park. All agreed that “Allen Township” needs to be in the name. No parks in the township bear the township name. “We need to get our name out there,” said Supervisor Dale Hassler. He suggested Allen Riverview Park as a possible name. Supervisors will come up with a list of names to present to the public for feedback. Finally, supervisors passed a resolution instating a Code of Conduct for township parks. This decision comes after members of the Bath Allen Youth Club voiced complaints about the behavior of other members. (These behaviors were not addressed publicly.) Based on these complaints, super-
visors said they could potentially restrict the club from using township facilities. They also threatened to pull funding. Supervisors Behler and Link attended a meeting with the club on
July 28 to present this new code of conduct and issue the township's warning. The next Allen Township Board of Supervisors meeting will be Tuesday, August 9.
By KERI LINDENMUTH During the Borough of Bath council meeting on Monday, August 1, council looked ahead to the borough’s return of Old Home Week for the first time in over a century. The weeklong event, starting on August 14 and running through August 20, comes after a year and a half of planning, hard work, and collaboration, said Councilman Frank Hesch. The celebration will start with a time capsule burial at Borough Hall on August 14 at noon. Next, the festivities will move to Ciff Cowling Field for a softball tournament at 12:30 p.m. Teams are still welcome to sign up. The Verdict will perform at 7 p.m. Tuesday, August 16 will feature food trucks and a movie starting at 5 p.m. at Fireman’s Field. Food trucks will include Take a Taco, Lattemann’s Corner Store, the Sticky Pig, Sprinkles, Atomic Hogs, Curd Zone, and Slide on By. The movie, “Finding Nemo,” will start at dusk. Thursday, August 18 is Business Night. Stores will host demos and live music and stay open late to welcome shoppers. The water treatment plant will also be open for a tour. Friday, August 19 is History Night. Residents can celebrate the borough’s rich history during a dinner at the American Legion. The banquet starts at 6 p.m. and will include a History of Bath display by the Bath Museum and guest speaker Linda Kortz. Tickets are $25 per person and are still available at Hayes Flowers. Finally, the week will end with the much-anticipated return of Spuds & Suds. The fifth-anniversary celebration will start at noon on August 20 and feature
vendors, food trucks, and music. The Bath Museum will be open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and the Siegfried Log Cabin will be open from 10 a.m. to noon. Borough business owners and residents are welcome to get involved in the celebration by decorating their properties in red, white, and blue. In other news, the borough has started the public comment period for its Pollution Reduction Plan. This plan, mandated by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, requires a short-term and long-term maintenance schedule outlining steps the borough will take to reduce stormwater runoff pollution over the next five years. The plan, available for review in the borough office, proposes two retention basins, a rain garden, and street sweeping for a total cost of $480,000. This funding would come from grants, loans, and the borough’s general fund. Construction of the retention basins would begin in fall 2024. This government mandate has forced small municipalities like Bath to face tough financial predicaments. “Where are we supposed to get this kind of money?” Mayor Fi asked, adding that many boroughs and townships face the same question. Should the DEP not enforce this mandate, the EPA may, in turn, fine the state. The next bi-monthly borough council meeting, originally scheduled for August 10, is now scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 14 at 6 p.m. This bi-monthly meeting will include a budget hearing. The public is encouraged to attend.

dents from Liberty High School (his alma mater) or Freedom High School who plan to attend Moravian and will participate in extracurricular activities.” The Werpehowski Family Endowed Scholarship Fund will directly impact future Moravian students and will give preference to students from Liberty High School or Freedom High School who are involved in extracurricular activities. “We hope to raise additional funds to help students for generations to come,” Werpehowski said. Born and raised in south Bethlehem, his father, Boleslaw, a Polish immigrant, worked at the Bethlehem Steel Corp., one of the world’s largest steel producing and shipbuilding companies. It was gritty and dangerous but an honest day’s work. Werpehowski attended Liberty High School and was a star basketball player. He was also a student in the Vo-Tech, learning to become a machinist. Two neighbors, Steve Sydorak and Larry Rosati, would define his destiny. “They encouraged me to go to college,” Werpehowski said. During that time, Rosati was the head football coach at Moravian University. He credits both men for their help in procuring a scholarship to the university. “The college was perfect for me; a small one and a very good educational pick,” he noted of his choice to attend Moravian, which claims to be the sixth-oldest college in the U.S. The university’s impact on his life is tremendous. Werpehowski became the first 1,000-point scorer in his junior year at Moravian. He then went
on to win the second team AllState honors, averaging 24 points a game as a senior, eighth in the country among small colleges. He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in education and was the owner of Plaza Realty in Bethlehem. Werpehowski is a Moravian University and Lehigh Valley Basketball Hall of Famer. “It’s my hope that my endowment and other scholarship opportunities through the university will introduce more Bethlehem students to Moravian—it’s a great ambition of mine and my alumni friends,” he explained.

County of Northampton Vaccination Clinics
Submitted by BECKY BARTLETT Lamont McClure and the Department of Corrections report that 45 vaccination clinics have been held for inmates and staff at the Northampton County Prison (NCP) since May 12, 2021. NCP’s healthcare provider, PrimeCare Medical, has administered shots to 761 inmates, 18 staff and seven County employees. The vaccinations are not compulsory and are only provided to those who request them.
www.HomeNewsPA.com
“Recently we’ve seen an increase in COVID-19 cases in our area due to new variants,” says Lamont McClure. “Early in the pandemic the Department of Corrections did a great job preventing transmission of the virus with face-masking and social distancing, but we’ve found that the best method to prevent infections is vaccination. I encourage everyone who can get vaccinated to get the shot. Vaccines don’t just protect lives, they protect livelihoods.” A drive-through center for COVID-19 vaccinations and testing is available at 3100 Emrick Blvd., Bethlehem. Hours of operation are Monday/Wednesday/Friday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Tuesday/Thursday from 2 to 6 p.m. Vaccinations are by appointment only and are only available for Northampton County residents ages 12 and over. Patients can choose from all three vaccines: Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson. Pfizer and Moderna require two shots administered three weeks apart, Johnson & Johnson requires only one dose. To make an appointment for a vaccine at the COVID-19 testing site use one of the following options: 1. Schedule at the LVHN website at LVHN.org/appointments. 2. Schedule on the MyLVHN patient portal, at MyLVHN.org. 3. Call 833-584-6283 (833-LVHN-CVD). The COVID-19 Vaccine Hotline is open Monday-Friday 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Saturday-Sunday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. A physician’s order is not required for a COVID-19 test. The drive-through site is open to everyone, but only residents of Northampton County will have the cost of testing covered by the County if they do not have health coverage. All testing will be through HNL Lab Medicine unless insurance requires an alternate laboratory. Participants should bring a photo ID and their insurance card, if they have one, with them to the testing site.

Hey gang, we’re in for another hot one this week! Thursday is supposed to be the hottest day of the year thus far. Be sure to stay cool, stay hydrated, check on neighbors and family members, and never leave children or pets in the car, even for just a few minutes. If you can’t bring ‘em in with you, then don’t take ‘em!... So many horrible car accidents lately, a 16-year-old girl who went to Whitehall School District was killed recently along with a man from Reading in that bad accident that was at Mechanicsville Road and Route 145 the other day. So many accidents, shootings, stabbings, major weather events, the list goes on. It sure makes our hearts heavy…It’s tough to transition to another topic after such a somber one so I’m just gonna do it- next week’s issue is going to be our “Old Home Week” issue. Businesses are invited to advertise their specials for Business

NORTHAMPTON AREA Lehigh Twp. Planning Commission Candidates introduced By NIA NICHOLSON The Lehigh Township Board of Supervisors met on Tuesday, July 26 at 7 p.m. At the top of the agenda, two candidates for the five-month appointment to the Lehigh Township Planning Commission were introduced: Mr. William Jones III and Mr. Charles P. Parish. Mr. Jones had previously served on the commission during the late 1990s to early 2000s before dedicating his time to his independent contracting career. He cited both his previous appointment to the commission as well as his familiarity with the township as experience that will benefit his overseeing of planning. Mr. Parish, a new resident of the township, served as an auditor for Heidelberg Township and volunteered his time to a referendum committee, as well as working as a biology teacher for 27 years. He stated he has been familiarizing himself with the area as well as the residents through attending meetings such as these. A motion to vote was put forth by Township Supervisor Phil Gogel and did not carry. The appointment will be decided at the next meeting. Lehigh Township Police Department officer J. Roth presented the PTS Grant to the board. This grant, provided by PennDOT, covers 18 municipalities and provides funding for police checkpoint equipment as well as salaries of officers involved. These checkpoints utilize a variety of equipment to identify and detain both drivers under the influence, as well as aggressive drivers, and have been coordinated by Mr. Roth since 2010. Data from PennDOT has shown a decrease in accidents over the past five years that this program has been implemented, though Mr. Roth emphasized that impaired and aggressive driving is still a significant issue in Lehigh Township, specifically citing Northampton County. Township Supervisor Cynthia Miller addressed the extra expense of overtime hours for officers involved in the program as well as the short window in which this grant can be approved by the supervisors, thus a motion to approve carried with the condition that the grant and budget must be discussed prior to applying for the following year. Regarding old business, comments were made throughout the year inquiring about private shooting ranges and the legality of shooting on one’s own property. Township Manager Alice Rehrig presented a draft of amendments to the area’s shooting range laws that follow both Pennsylvania state guidelines as well as NRA guidelines that will ultimately have individuals as-
sume responsibility and liability associated with shooting on their property as suggested by David Backenstoe, township solicitor. These plans are not definite yet and will be discussed further by the board before any changes are implemented. During public comments, Katherine Mack, chairperson of the Lehigh Township Zoning and Code Enforcement department, requested a financial analysis for zoning expenses to better estimate a budget for future years. There was also discussion between residents and supervisors regarding fireworks laws and avenues of fire prevention, such as trimming any foliage around the perimeter of residences to lower the risk of fire spreading. The next Lehigh Township Board of Supervisors meeting will be held on Tuesday, August 9 at 7 p.m. in the Lehigh Township municipal building.

NAZARETH AREA Nazareth Borough Council appoints New council member Larry Stoudt
By SAVANNAH BROWN The Nazareth Borough Council met Monday, August 1 to discuss appointing a new council member, various upcoming events, public works resolutions, and the advertisement of a special meeting for the Nazareth Area Multi-Municipal Plan. Councilman Carl Strye Jr. nominated Larry Stoudt to fill the unexpired term for the borough second ward council of vacancy from Aug. 1, 2022, through Dec. 31, 2023. Councilman Charles Donello stated, “Larry’s background is 44 years with council.” After further deliberation, the council voted unanimously to approve Larry Stoudt as coun-
cilman for the remainder of the term. Council members also encouraged the two candidates that ran and any others to reach out regarding future positions in the borough. After the decision, Stoudt thanked the other two candidates, encouraged them to stay involved, and wished them well in the next election. Mayor Lance Colondo swore in Stoudt, and he sat in on the meeting for its duration as a councilman. In other news, council voted unanimously to approve the use of the large pavilion by Action Karate on Saturday, October 22 from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. for a trunk-or-treat event. Nazareth

Borough Council also approved the placement of scarecrows in the circle by the Girl Scouts of Nazareth Area beginning on October 1, and the group will also be responsible for takedown and cleanup during the first week of November. The council also voted to approve performance bonuses for pool management, lifeguards, staff, and maintenance personnel for the season in the amounts of $250 for the manager, $200 for assistants, and everyone else would be capped at $100. Next, the council approved the request of Nazareth Area Youth Baseball for use of the main baseball field in the park for fall baseball. Council members unanimously approved the use of the park by the Vigilance Hose Fire Company #1 on Sept. 23, 2023, from 1 to 7 p.m. for their BikeFest event, which will include setting up the tents, approval for the selling of alcoholic beverages, live bands, and a disc jockey. The council also approved the request of the Memorial Library of Nazareth and vicinity to hold a pet parade on Wednesday, August 24 at 6 p.m., which will go west on Center Street from the
library, around the Circle, and end at the YMCA. A motion to approve trickor-treat night in the borough on Monday, October 21 from 6 to 8 p.m. was approved unanimously, as well as the approval to purchase two pickleball nets for setup in the park on one of the existing tennis courts at a cost of approximately $250 each.

Guitar had booths with clothing and other memorabilia for sale in Center Square, as well as an extensive display of guitars and their associated names, characteristics, and information for prospective buyers. Martin Guitar also provided a new D-28 guitar to be raffled off, which festivalgoers entered to win with the purchase of a $10 raffle ticket. The classic D-28 guitar is valued at over $3,000 and has been the staple of many musi-
cians’ artistry for nearly a century. The Martin D-28 is known for its rich, booming projection and high-quality tone, which has been favored by Hank Williams, Neil Young, Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan, The Beatles, Johnny Cash, and many others. The 184-year-old guitar maker has artfully enhanced the new reimagined D-28 guitar to include vintage appointments such as open gear tuners, an aged toner top, antique white accents, and

series entitled Easton Nights. Inspired by the poetic works of George Tice, Peter wandered into the surreal and romantic world of Easton’s small hours, where he became obsessed with the stage-like places, which are at once animated, silent and cathartic; all acting as reflections of our uncommon world. The creation of the photography merged with the creation of engaging installations which surround the viewer with his nocturnal visions.
NCHGS Executive Director Megan van Ravenswaay said, “We are thrilled to collaborate with Peter Ydeen to present this exciting photography exhibition at the Sigal Museum. As a lover of architecture, I appreciate the ability to look at many familiar Northampton County structures through Peter’s eerie and quiet photographic lens. I am left with a very deep appreciation of the built world all around us.” Peter Ydeen said, "Easton Nights is a story which grew
from the unique and uncommon valley in which the city lies, and is told with the images of unpeopled landscapes taken at night.” Easton Nights at the Sigal Museum will open to the public on August 11 and run through May 28, 2023, Thursday through Saturday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sundays noon to 4 p.m. Admission is free on Sundays and free every day for SNAP/EBT members.

Last, Donello brought up people dumping trash in the woods at the property edge of Greenwood Cemetery and Nazareth Dog Park. Greenwood Cemetery has paid for the cost of cleanup but requested the borough pay half of the cleanup fee. The total cost of the cleanup was $300. Greenwood Cemetery requested the borough pay $15 of the total cost, which the borough approved unanimously. Council members also agreed the cemetery should put in trail cameras in order to catch residents dumping their trash on the property. Due to Labor Day, the next regular Nazareth Borough Council meeting will be held Tuesday, September 6 at 6 p.m. in the Nazareth Borough Council Chambers, located at S. Church Street and Center Street, Nazareth.

Migraines

makes the time fly as she follows the plot and tries to figure out who the villain is. But for the past decade, reading, along with spending time with family and baking, her favorite hobbies,
were limited by her frequent migraine headaches. That was before Hercik enrolled in a research study of Aimovig® at St. Luke’s Center for Neurology. About 15% of Americans suffer migraines, often-debilitating headaches for which there is no cure. They can be triggered by stress, loud noises, certain foods, hormonal changes, caffeine, to-
bacco, among other factors. “They felt like a band around my head that got tighter and tighter,” says Hercik, a 77-yearold resident of Fountain Hill. Light made them worse, too. “I was miserable and had to go into a dark room.” Some James Patterson mysteries went unfinished as she suffered from at least 2-3 migraines a month.

Hercik took over-the-counter and prescription medications that dulled the throbbing symptoms but didn’t reduce the onset or duration of the migraines. They still came, unexpected and intense, consistently disrupting her life. After Hercik enrolled in the research study of Aimovig® at St. Luke’s Center for Neurology, it seemed she had found the key to a perplexing puzzle in a monthly shot she injects into her thigh. According to Krista Verdi, PAC, Hercik’s physician assistant at St. Luke’s, Aimovig, FDA approved in 2018, is the first in a new class of preventive medications that blocks the trigger of a migraine and has “given many patients their lives back.” “It’s a remarkable, life-changing medication,” says Verdi, who has seen many of her patients respond favorably to the drug. Hercik hasn’t had a single headache in several months, for which she praises Aimovig and Verdi. “I’ve had fewer migraines, and when they come, they don’t last

as long,” she explains. And, as a bonus, she hasn’t had any side effects from Aimovig to date. “I’m so thankful I was able to join this study and take this medicine.” Now she’s able to finish a James Patterson mystery, pain-free, and look forward to reading the next book. It’s a joy she finds in this pastime for the first time in many years. The Home Ne ws
